I Walked - Sufjan Stevens

Lover, will you look at me now?

I’m already dead to you

But I’m inclined to explain

What I could not before

Whatever you didn’t do, what you couldn’t say

I am sorry the worst has arrived

For I deserve more

For at least I deserve the respect of a kiss goodbye

Tell me, do you think of me now

As I think of you?

For I could not have shaken

The touch of your breath on my arm

For it has stayed in me as an epithet

I am sorry the worst has arrived

For I’m on the floor

In the room where we made it our last touch of the night

I walked, cause you walked

But I won’t probably get very far

Sensation to what you said

But I’m not about to expect something more

I would not have run off

But I couldn’t bear that it’s me, it’s my fault

I should not be so lost

But I’ve got nothing left to love

Lover, will you look from me now

I’m already dead

But I’ve come to explain

Why I left such a mess on the floor

For when you went away I went crazy

I was wild with the breast of a dog

I ran through the night

With a knife in my chest, with the lust of your loveless life

I walked, cause you walked

But I won’t probably get very far

Sensation to what you said

But I’m not about to expect something more

I would not have run off

But I couldn’t bear that it’s me, it’s my fault

I should not be so lost

But I’ve got nothing left to love

I walked, cause you walked

I walked, cause you walked

I walked, cause you walked

I walked, cause you walked

I walked, cause you walked

I walked, cause you walked

I walked, cause you walked
